C63 507 vs. V8 Supercar vs. RB7

Hi all,


I didn't see a video posted up here.


At the Australian GP, the typical Speed Comparison between a road car/race car/F1 car took place. All things considered, the 507 vs. V8 Supercar was not that bad. Tell you what...the sound from the 507 is much better than the latest F1 V6 Turbos! We go to Montreal for the Canadian GP...it will sure be an interesting year! No more screaming V8s.....I miss the V10s!


Enjoy -


-C

Cool video. It's great to see the cars we drive put in so high regard by fellow gear heads. The C63 truly is a special car.

Love it when they do these comparisons. Its awesome.

How was the silly commentator, [female] saying "Oh, look he has his hazard lights on" LOL
It was the DRLs and the camera refresh rate.

That made me laugh too when she said that....you'd think commentators that get paid tons of $$$ would know some of the simpler things about cars on video....

Cool video nonetheless

This and that.
I couldn't have the audio when I watched it but I am thinking they are saying some good stuff about the C63 cause otherwise it had a head start and it still lost to the other two. lol
